How to get over an extremely embarrassing moment

Did it involve a dog and some peanut butter?

I don't really know why I'm posting this here but...

The other day, I experienced THE most embarrassing moment of my life to date. It was witnessed by 6 people. I'm not gonna get into it.

I gain solace in telling myself that it could've been worse - it could've been a lot worse . But obviously it could've just not happened full-stop.

The 6 people who witnessed it responded really well and they were quite understanding... but like... one of the 6 witnesses was someone I really admire, and whose opinion means a lot to me. They thought quite highly of me up until this point, and this person is the main reason I've been waking up every morning since the incident cringing as the memory has slapped me in the face. I valued their opinion so much, and now they definitely think less of me. It could be worse, as I say, but... if only this person hadn't been there. If this person hadn't been there, it wouldn't be nearly as bad.

I've heard that our memories are distorted by our emotions at the time, so some of our memories could be completely wrong in our heads. I guess the reason I'm posting this is to ask... will the witness whose opinion I really care about remember this in much less detail in a year's time?

And another question... is it true that you can see a certain kind of doctor who can extract memories from your head? I'd love to extract this one.

And my last question is... how do you guys move on from extremely embarrassing moments? The thing that happened to me the other day has been haunting me every hour of the day, and it's really hard to distract myself from it. Should I confront it? Or should I not - because there's no way I can replay the incident from the witnesses' perspectives. All I know is that for the witness whose opinion means a lot to me, it was pretty shocking. They're a good person so they were understanding, but I could see from their face that they were shocked.

If they are going to judge you based on this one experience and think less of you because of it then what is the point of being accomplices with them anymore? Try to stop caring what other people think. We have all been through embarrassing experiences but we move on. I still have those days where I randomly remember them and think 'What was I thinking?!' however there is nothing you can do about it. The past is the past.

My friend went through a really embarrassing experience a few years ago. After a P.E Lesson she went to have a shower and put on her towel but her locker was jammed and wouldn't open (her clothes were in the locker). She decided to walk to the P.E office in the main school corridors and ask the P.E teachers for help. Pretty much everyone was in their classes so she thought she could quickly run and ask the P.E teachers to help her. Unfortunately she bumped into one jerk two years above her who was on his way to the toilet and her towel slipped off by accident While she stood there mortified and in shock the jerk grabbed her towel and wouldn't give it to her back so she stood there demanding for him to give it back to her. While this was happening (HORROR OF HORRORS) the bell rang! So people came out of their classes to see this naked girl!

Your embarrassing moment couldn't compare to the one I described, right? It's hard to give you advice when we don't know exactly what happened and why this would make the person you respect a lot change their opinion of you.
